Chapter XVII

After feeling Xue Yi's departure, Sakura, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes and let out a long sigh.

The thought of her mother made her heart feel a little uncomfortable. It's not that she misses her mother much, but more resentment.

Resentment against this mother, whom she had never met......

Sakura turned over and sat up, got out of bed and came to the window, leaning softly on the eaves, looking at the falling snow outside the window, and the flower was alone in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but it was already dark outside the window, and sparse lights appeared in the darkness, outlining a desolate city.

(Rather, it's really a desolate and lonely city, in this city, if ...... That must be fun. )

A biting cold wind blew, waking up Sakura in a daze. She patted her little face to sober herself up.

"It's been a long time since I've been in a daze, and before I know it, it's been so long?"

The voice of self-talk was a little annoyed, and the girl looked at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly thought of the red figure she had met during the day.

"Even in such a city, is there such a vibrant girl? It's a little enviable, that kind of out-of-the-box character......"

Sakura closed the window, as if she was cut off from the outside world. Then she walked to her bed, then lay on it, clutching her pillow and laughing at herself.

"When did I become so sentimental? Because I've seen too much fate, I feel like I'm not like myself anymore, it's like ...... Something was watching me from behind......"

Sakura shook her head and threw out the unrealistic thoughts in her head. Then her left pupil began to slowly change color, like a cherry blossom in full bloom.

It didn't take long for her to shake her head, the corners of her mouth a little bitter, a little helpless.

"Sure enough...... The restrictions are getting bigger and bigger, and it feels like you're being sealed...... But the real reason should be that the ability was overused at that time. But...... Now that guy is also falling asleep, is it at this time? I don't know when she'll wake up! ”

"But I think I saw those guys just now, huh...... Is there a banquet? It's a little boring, so let's go check it out! By the way, say hi to them. ”

Sakura took off her clothes as she spoke, after all, the chase during the day made her sweat a little. Originally, because of the daze and those unpleasant things, I didn't feel anything, but now I feel a little sticky on my body, so I feel that I should take a shower.

Judging from this point alone, Sakura Dream is still like a ...... Normal Girl ......

I went to the bathroom and washed my body casually, while expressing a huge grudge against my flat chest, and left.

The whole process takes less than five minutes, and a series of cleaning tasks including washing your hair are completed. In other words, most men don't wash so quickly...... Is this really human? Oh, by the way, she's not......

There is no girl's procrastination, which makes people wonder if she is the external Lori, the essence of the inner foot-picking man.

It's a pity that this book is not a transformation text......

Casually wore a pale pink sleeveless dress with intricate folds and a large pale pink bow tied at the back. Her chest bulged slightly, and the girl patted her chest lightly, and then it sank...... Dented......

Sure enough, it's still flat......

The girl looked in the mirror, straightened the clothes on her chest with a blank face, and returned to the slightly bulging state. Then she put on a pair of white over-the-knee socks that formed a suffocating absolute field with the short pink skirt.

Sakura, who used to dress casually, even combed her hair to a rare one. Although she didn't seem to be able to comb her hair, she just talked about the loose shredded hair being straightened out, and she didn't tie it up.

In Sakuramu's opinion, attending a banquet is always the most solemn. This has something to do with her experience as a child, from childhood to adulthood, she attended countless banquets in her own home, to the point that she was a little bored. Before each party, she was dressed like a doll by her father, the frenzied daughter, and held in his hands.

Of course, this was only when she was younger. When she was older, she turned into a doll and sat high in the center of the banquet, overlooking everything.

Because of this, she grew up with almost no friends. Although her father wanted her to make some friends when he found out about this, it had no effect. The long period of not being in contact with others had already caused the young girl to have a thought in her young mind that "friends are not necessary". And the only one who can be called a friend, for Sakura, I'm afraid there is no one else except the maid Xiaoya of her family......

This became even more evident when she became the master, and she always locked herself in her personal study, ignoring the outside world. Sometimes she really wants to make a few friends, but she's used to being alone and lonely......

Until she ran into that squad, and was caught off guard by unobservable fate, she was forced to enter that squad.

At first, she just treated the team as a toy. But when she joined the team and saw the lives of these people, she put her own things behind and decided to try to get along with them.

But...... There is a person's fate, and she has no knowledge of the past. It seemed that there was a big invisible hand holding it all in the palm of her hand, and she just saw it, saw the man's struggle...... Even if you don't have any understanding, you can feel a deep sadness coming to your face.

Maybe it's because of sympathy, maybe it's because of the same sickness, but they can be called friends.

So for this banquet, Sakura Dream is still very interested. I didn't receive an invitation, but I was a little excited to attend a friend's party.

It's a feeling that people with friends can never experience. Only if you have enjoyed solitude, can.

Charles was a little depressed now, because Sakurami was completely gone, and she had disappeared for three whole days. Even if she is a princess, the status of a princess is of no use on the front line of the battlefield. The soldiers here don't care who you are, they just want to dedicate themselves to the Empire.

This makes Sakura Dream actually very curious, how this kind of decaying empire has cultivated such an army that is absolutely loyal to the empire.

But she may never get an answer, because that person has joined the hostile camp.

The human side claims that the drunken general and the three legends of the Nightmare clan are locked in a bitter battle, and after killing one legend, he is exhausted and slain by the other two. After his death, the general's body was acquired by the Nightmare Clan, refined into a puppet, and joined the Nightmare Clan's side.

This incident undoubtedly caused the morale of the general's own hands and even all the other soldiers to fall into a depression for a while, but the human side sent seven legends to barely raise the morale.

Coupled with the recent victories, the soldiers did not lose their fighting spirit.

But if this incident is heard by Sakura...... Actually, it's nothing for her to hear, because she doesn't want to have anything to do with politics. In addition, Xue Yi didn't say anything, I'm afraid, she will only laugh when she hears it.

And the reason for this banquet is just to boost morale. Charles was also not interested in this kind of banquet at all, for the same reason as Sakuramu, she had already attended too many banquets in the royal family. As for why I participated, the reason is the same as Sakura's.

On the contrary, two people like Lin Shi and Mu Tong are very interested in this kind of banquet. However, the former is just interested, while the latter is simply interested in banquets because he has never been to a banquet.

As for Qianyu, she was completely dragged over, and she herself didn't like this kind of lively place. Just look at her now, hiding alone in the corner and listening to songs.

However, Charles looked a little idle when he saw this lively scene, and even the boy who seemed a little shy joined the banquet.

But there was one person who caught Charles's eye, a red-haired girl full of energy and chatting with the people around her...... No! Strictly speaking, it was the people around her who listened to her broken thoughts.

"Really...... The girl was quite pretty, and her pale pink hair was quite impressive. But why is it a tentacle monster? I really don't understand this kind of world.,Anything can be mother-in-law, right? This is not fiction! ......”

Charles listened to the girl's broken thoughts with black lines on his face, and stepped forward to ask.

"That...... May I ask if you are talking about a girl who is so tall, with pink eyes and hair? ”

Then he compared his shoulders near his neck.

The girl glanced at Charles, and suddenly screamed as if she had discovered some new land.

"You...... You...... Aren't you an imperial princess? I've seen you in the newspapers! Why would the princess of the empire deign to come here? Could it be...... Is it because of me? That's right, it's because of me! I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess of the empire to be a city manager like me...... Bah! Here the Syracuse Overseer is here, ah! This must be the arrangement of fate, I praise the goddess of life! ......”

Charles's brow jumped, but he found that he couldn't intervene in her words at all, and he didn't know where to vomit if he wanted to......

"Ah, yes! You just talked about the tentacle monster? Do you want to hear that story? ......”

Before Charles could reply, the girl recounted the events of the day, adding fuel and vinegar from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that she knew what kind of person Sakura was, Charles would have almost believed her nonsense.

At this moment, the door of the originally closed banquet hall suddenly opened, and a cold wind blew in, and the guests inside couldn't help but shiver.

"Sorry to interrupt!"

A pleasant voice came from the doorway, and there was a cute little girl standing.

"Ahh Tentacle monsters! ”

The girl exclaimed. Then it was obvious that the corner of the girl's mouth twitched at the door standing in the doorway, apparently not expecting the girl's exclamation.

"Sorry to interrupt!"

Left the same sentence and slammed the door shut.

ps: as always, there is no ps...... Forget it, I'll still ask for a collection and a recommendation ticket!
